Plateau-Mont-Royal: The joy of living!
The Plateau-Mont-Royal has all the charm of neighbourhood life and the intensity of urban life combined. A unique neighbourhood located at the foot of Mount Royal, it features narrow tree-lined streets and distinctive architecture with colourful houses and outdoor staircases.
Its bike paths and metro stations make it an easily accessible neighbourhood where the proximity of shops and green spaces offers an incomparable quality of life.
The cafés, bars, restaurants and boutiques that line Saint-Denis Street, Mont-Royal Avenue and Saint-Laurent Boulevard give the neighbourhood a vitality that makes it one of the most dynamic in the city.
The Plateau-Mont-Royal is bounded by the following streets: starting at the intersection of Sherbrooke and University Streets in the southwest, the boundaries are formed by University Street north to Pine Avenue, then Pine Avenue east to Parc Avenue, then north to Hutchison Street via Saint-Joseph Boulevard to the west to Côte-Sainte-Catherine Road.
Mile End: Home to young and old hipsters alike
Mile End is part of the Plateau Mont-Royal borough, but it is distinctive because it has its own identity. Since the 1990s, the neighbourhood has developed by welcoming several new tech companies such as video game developer Ubisoft, which have set up shop in old factories and have helped revitalize the neighbourhood.
In recent years, new stores, bars and restaurants have sprung up alongside iconic Montreal businesses such as Fairmount Bagels and Saint-Viateur Bagels or Schwartz’s Deli, on major commercial arteries such as Fairmount Street, Bernard Street and Saint-Laurent Boulevard.
Mile End is bordered by Hutchison Street to the west, Henri-Julien Avenue and de Bullion Street to the east, Mont-Royal Avenue to the south and the Canadian Pacific Railway to the north.
Villeray: Neighbourhood life at its best
With its peaceful and increasingly green streets, and the green alleys that have been appearing in recent years, Villeray has become one of the most popular residential and family neighbourhoods in Montreal.
The proximity of the Jean-Talon Market, the largest public market in Montreal, and the various businesses that have been multiplying over the past few years on De Castelnau and Villeray Streets, as well as the easy access to one of the largest parks in the city, Jarry Park, make Villeray a neighbourhood of choice for families.

Two of Montreal’s largest parks are located here: Bellerive Park along the river and Maisonneuve Park next to the Botanical Gardens.

The Cité-Jardin near the Botanical Garden with its single-family homes, and the Promenade Masson sector (Old Rosemont) with its duplexes and triplexes.
